Party leader calls for Yoon to step down as South Korean president


The head of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s governing party, Han Dong-hoon, expressed openness to Yoon’s removal due to his declaration of martial law, which he later rescinded. Han mentioned that Yoon ordered arrests of politicians alongside martial law, leading him to believe that Yoon should be suspended to protect the country and its people. The impeachment vote is set for Saturday, with the opposition bloc likely to have enough support for it to pass. Yoon blamed opposition lawmakers for the chaos caused by his martial law order and slashed funding. Concerns arise that Yoon might attempt to declare martial law again, but government officials have stated they would refuse to comply with such orders. The U.S. has shown support for South Korea during this period, emphasizing the strength of their alliance and postponing planned meetings and military exercises due to the turmoil. Further details emerged about the soldiers’ infiltration of the National Election Commission after Yoon’s martial law declaration, with no internal materials taken, but a review is ongoing. The special forces commander stated that no one entered the premises, and there were no plans to detain or obstruct commission personnel. The situation remains tense as the potential impeachment of Yoon approaches.
